it's is 2026 and someone from my school got CHICKENPOX

it's grad party season and now I'm going to be paranoid of every itchy feeling I have for the next month

thanks anti-vaccine people, thanks

btw I really don't get why people who ask for (usually religious) exemptions are allowed to go to endanger the rest of us. yes I am just trying to get an education and you are trying to prevent me from doing that

(also screw RFK Jr. and Trump for their stupid idiotic idea to try to sicken, if not kill, a bunch of children)

Cacar Air: Bukan Sekadar Ruam Biasa yang Harus Dianggap Sepele

Kenapa Cacar Air Masih Relevan Dibahas? Cacar air. Hampir setiap orang pernah mendengar nama penyakit ini, bahkan banyak yang pernah mengalaminya sendiri di masa kecil. Kita terbiasa menganggapnya sebagai penyakit anak yang biasa — gatal beberapa hari, lalu sembuh sendiri, dan selesai. Namun, pandangan itu tidak sepenuhnya benar. Pada akhir Oktober 2024, Kementerian Kesehatan Republik Indonesia…

Chicken pox is viral, not a bacterial illness! The pathogen responsible is Varicella zoster, same virus stays inactive in your nervous system and decades later can reactivate as shingles (a burning rash on one side of the body, because it affects dermatomes.)

I diagnosed it the very first time I encountered it just by patient history and his description of it, he insisted on showing it to me, though, and it was indeed shingles and I showed him pictures of more cases from Google images to reassure him. It's very characteristic!

He was an older gentleman and he did have chickenpox in his youth, called عنقز in Arabic. In my generation, I only ever saw a kid with it once (the parents sent the little girl to school while having it?! ... she should have been resting at home! ... most of us kids were vaccinated, but still.)

I used to be confused by the kid's shows from the States treating chickenpox as a common childhood ailment with episodes dedicaed to it, when I had only ever seen it once in real life back then, so I used to wonder why they weren't vaccinating kids against it, BUT today I learned... "The United States was the first country to start universally vaccinating children against varicella in 1995."

I'm older than the chickenpox vaccine. That's why so many 90's kids shows featured it!

What are the symptoms of shingles and how is it related to chickenpox? – UK Department of Health and Security

Shingles, medically known as shingles, is an infection that causes a painful rash. It is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox (chickenpox). Once a person has recovered from chickenpox, the virus may remain dormant in the body and later reactivate, manifesting as shingles due to age or immunosuppression. People who have ever had chickenpox are at risk of getting shingles later in…

The “Contagious Distemper” of Hirta - 1727

As we saw last time, a “contagious distemper”, thought to have been smallpox, wiped out all but four adults of the population on the island of Hirta on the St Kilda archipelago and left three men and eight boys marooned on Stac an Armin for nine months. But was it smallpox? In 1727 smallpox was not well understood. It was not until 1767 that the Cambridge physician, William Heberden,…
